	Reply Stop moaning and whining. I say, thank god for The Sims 3! Now, before you start hurling stones at me, hear me out. You should feel real good about so many “artards” buying Sims. It is a PROOF that most people are freaking mindless monkeys ready to take it up their smelly, droopy asses, just to be accepted by other fellow apes. What statement will give you the approval of brainless, ball-sucking co-workers; “I’m playing GTA 4”, or, “I’m playing The Sims 3”. There are vast masses of mediocre minds out there. There are only few intellectual rebels against the mediocrity

	Reply Shit, I need to get prima guide for my sims.

	Reply I can see why people like the Sims, since most of us have really crappy lives. In the Sims, you can be what you want to be. The problem is that people spend too much time in the Sims, and they forget about the real world.

	Reply I really don't get the hostility towards the series. OK, EA milk the shit out of it and it has a "casual" image. But it really is a fun game.

	Reply You don't like it you don't buy whats the problem? I agree wid Sword fight on this one

	SpaceMonkey	[mail] Jun 15 2009, 02:42 am EDT
	Reply I personally advocate gaming freedom, why should others who like sims be forced to play what you like? Not everyone can relate with mass effect, gta or prototype. However almost everyone can relate with sims, it is after all a life simulation. Most girls, moms and old people just don't get sci-fi games or violent games but they can get sims. Let them play what they choose to play! In addition, sims really is a good strategy game with enough variety to play endlessly as opposed to most conventional games where there's little replay value. Just because it's a little queer doesn't make it bad.

	Reply Do i need sims 2 installed to play sims 3????? HA just jokin

	Gforced	[mail] Jun 17 2009, 04:46 am EDT
	Reply What's wrong with me? i want to buy it.Maybe it's just the sheer volume of Sims 3 sales and Sim 2 games and expansions out there.The Sims now has it's own gravitational field that just sucks every thing in.Like a black whole tuned to the frequency of our hard earned dollars. Fight the urge man,fight it. (but all my friend are buying it it must be cool like smoking) Unless Actiontrip gets round to reviewing the game and tells me i must buy,buy,buy.
